Queen Bee Educates; Redefining Women’s HIV Advocacy

Dr. Andrea Dunn

A mother discovers her inner “Queen Bee” and creates a buzz worthy approach to educate women and children about good health and HIV. A honey of a story.

The Queen has arrived and she has a message for you. Let’s Be HIV Educated Simple. Direct. Buzz worthy. But we all know things are never that simple. Today, on National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), we’re going share one woman’s remarkable story. Actually, this is the bee-ginning.

Who is the Queen Bee?

Dr. Andrea Dunn is a mother, a doctor, an active community member and the Founder, CEO, and the “Queen Bee” of Let’s Beehive! Earning her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Howard University and specializing in Pediatric Pharmacy was a hard won dream. While working in pediatrics, she had several experience with infants living with HIV that had a profound effect on her. She saw a lack of education and information and wanted to help her community. She created Let’s Beehive!
